Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "coupon" with "voucher" or "ticket". A "coupon" is mainly for discounts or special offers, while a "ticket" is used to enter a place or event. In many cases, "voucher" can be used like "coupon", but "voucher" is more general and is often used for prepaid services, gift cards, or travel documents. Learners may also think a coupon always means paper, but it is very common to have digital coupons in apps or emails.

Častá chyba:
Learners may incorrectly think this financial meaning is the same as a shopping coupon. In finance, a "coupon" is connected to bonds and interest payments, not to discounts in stores. Another confusion is between "coupon" and "interest rate": the coupon is the fixed rate printed on the bond, while the yield can change with market prices.
